This hike had created a great mystery for the citizens. The government of Kerala should take a better decisions in controlling the hike in the bus charges. There is none to question the bus union. As the price of petrol and petroleum products increases the bus owner's union go for strike to increase the bus charge. Why to increase the bus charge as the buses are moving with diesel.
